Whether staying on Santorini in an 1870’s sea captain’s mansion or sleeping in a charming barn with goats in Iceland, the accommodation we have experienced during our travels has been varied and unique. There are some that have really stood out above and beyond the rest. 

These are the places that have captured our imaginations

and given our journeys a bit of fairy dust magic.  

As we frequently get asked for recommendations, we wanted to include some of these standout properties which we believe will add to any family’s experience.  Since children learn so much from travelling, this includes the places they stay.  Exposing children to varied abodes gives them an opportunity to learn about a destination in more depth and gain knowledge about architecture, design, culture and history.

After careful vetting of these properties through our personal experience, they have all earned an outstanding rating. We have taken into consideration location, service, amenities and above all, the wow factor.  

Check out our reviews to see some of the treasures we have had the good fortune to encounter and can wholeheartedly recommend as outstanding and educational experiences for the whole family!
